Age at death of a Late Middle Pleistocene Neandertal mandible from the Coupe-Gorge cave (Montmaurin, France)
In 1950, in Coupe-Gorge cave in Montmaurin (France), at a stratigraphic level dated to the Late Middle Pleistocene (~150ky) a fragmentary mandibular symphysis was discovered. We examined the fossil to estimate its age at death and assessed its taxonomical classification based on mandibular morpholo...

We examined the fossil to estimate its age at death and assessed its taxonomical classification based on mandibular morphology.A µ-CT scan was performed on the fossil to study its dental development (the 2 permanent central incisors are included). One reference collection composed of 8 Neandertals was selected, for whic... |
